Iraq Inquiry
« Venables | Back to most recent briefing | Somali President »
Asked if there were to be any comment following Bill Jeffrey’s evidence at the Iraq Inquiry about the defence budget, the PMS replied that the Prime Minister has said all he is going to say at the inquiry on Friday. The PMS explained the three points the PM made; that core defence spending rose, an extra 8bn was spent on Iraq War on top of the allocated defence budget and the Treasury approved every request for extra funding when the PM was Chancellor, stating the same is also true for Afghanistan.
